1)
The ceasefire follows diplomatic talks in Washington, D.C., involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, and aims to pause hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.
2)
2)
Key details of the agreement include:
Trump stated the ceasefire is a step toward "lasting peace" and plans to invite Netanyahu and Aoun to the White House for further talks—the first high-level discussions between Israel and Lebanon since 1983.

A new study asks a deceptively simple question - is Long COVID just a slower recovery, or is it a persistent immune disorder? Their data point toward the latter !🧵
For this single-cell analysis, the authors selected 9 women from a prospective cohort of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Blood was collected during acute infection, at 3 months, and again 18-24 months later. Some recovered without long-term complications. Others developed pulmonary or cardiovascular Long COVID.
What makes the paper valuable is not the size of the cohort, but the depth of follow up. The authors profiled peripheral blood mononuclear cells at single-cell resolution and tracked how immune states evolved over time.
The U.S. Senate voted on April 15, 2026, to reject two resolutions that would have blocked arms sales to Israel, with 36–63 and 40–59 votes against blocking a $151.8 million sale of 1,000-pound bombs and a $295 million sale of military bulldozers, respectively.

The votes, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, marked the fourth such attempt since October 2023 and showed increased Democratic support compared to previous efforts.

Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵
1/ Auto mode = no more permission prompts
Opus 4.7 loves doing complex, long-running tasks like deep research, refactoring code, building complex features, iterating until it hits a performance benchmark.
In the past, you either had to babysit the model while it did these sorts of long tasks, our use --dangerously-skip-permissions.
We recently rolled out auto mode as a safer alternative. In this mode, permission prompts are routed to a model-based classifier to decide whether the command is safe to run. If it's safe, it's auto-approved.
This means no more babysitting while the model runs. More than that, it means you can run more Claudes in parallel. Once a Claude is cooking, you can switch focus to the next Claude.
Auto mode is now available for Opus 4.7 for Max, Teams, and Enterprise users. Shift-tab to enter auto mode in the CLI, or choose it in the dropdown in Desktop or VSCode.

2/ The new /fewer-permission-prompts skill
We've also released a new /fewer-permission-prompts skill. It scans through your session history to find common bash and MCP commands that are safe but caused repeated permission prompts.
It then recommends a list of commands to add to your permissions allowlist.
Use this to tune up your permissions and avoid unnecessary permission prompts, especially if you don't use auto mode.

CENTCOM com. Brad Cooper: We launched own one way drones into Iran, originally Iranian designed. We took the guts out, put a "made American" stamp on them and fired them back. Very effective.

1/ Russia is reported to be sending reserve troops to Ukraine, even as its recruitment efforts are faltering. Recently posted videos suggest that reservists are being transported in handcuffs, and men who have lost legs and arms are also being sent into assaults. ⬇️
2/ @ChristopherJM reported today that according to Ukrainian GUR head Vadym Skibitskyi, Russia is preparing for a fresh ground assault with the transfer of 20,000 reserve troops to Ukraine.
3/ The 'Combat reserve' Telegram channel has posted a video (see at the top of this thread) showing handcuffed men in what appears to be a tent. One man complains to a man adjusting their shackles about his difficulty in lying down to sleep.
"They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them." (Matthew 23:4)

Seedance 2.0 1080p
Infinite Fight Scenes From One Prompt
Created a parametric prompt for epic fight scenes. You can generate unlimited variations just by changing the parameters. Tested one generation in 1080p with Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield.
More examples with prompts are in the replies.
Prompt Template:
FORMAT: 15s / continuous fight
CHARACTERS
A: [character_A]
B: [character_B]
ENVIRONMENT
[short description]
FIGHT PROFILE
STYLE: [brutal / elegant / tactical / chaotic / cinematic]
ENERGY: [low / medium / high / explosive]
WEAPONS: [none / melee / mixed]
INTENT: [duel / assassination / survival / dominance / training]
VISUAL
Cinematic realism, physical lighting, shallow DOF, subtle grain, natural motion blur.
DIRECTIVE
No fixed choreography. Fight emerges dynamically from characters, environment, and momentum.
BEHAVIOR
- Use environment freely (walls, ground, objects)
- Allow verticality (climb, wall-run, elevation shifts)
- Encourage unexpected but physically valid actions
RULES
- Momentum chain only, no isolated actions
- Clear positioning at all times
- Continuous, motivated camera (POV / OTS / wide / low-high as needed)
- Environment actively reacts (splashes, debris, sparks)
IMPACT
Strong contacts:
2-frame hold + brightness spike + micro shake resume
MOTION
Secondary delay (~2 frames) on hair, fabric, environment.
RHYTHM
Fast exchanges + micro pauses + 1–2 slow-motion beats (0.5–1s)
ESCALATION
Intensity rises. Include:
- one vertical/environment-driven move
- one decisive high-impact action
HERO MOMENT (CRITICAL)
Generate one standout finishing beat:
- visually dominant, clearly readable
- uses environment or full-body motion
- slow-motion entry → sharp impact → brief aftermath hold
- ends with strong silhouette or positional advantage
GUARDRAILS
- Keep character identity and position consistent (no teleporting)
- Respect weight and inertia (no floaty or impossible motion)
- Ensure clear cause → effect in every action
- Keep camera readable and motivated (no random spins or cuts)
- Use environment logically (no clipping or mismatch)
- Prioritize clarity and physical realism over complexity
OUTPUT
Fluid, physical, cinematic fight with clear spatial logic, dynamic camera, environmental interaction, and a memorable final highlight moment.

It establishes two pillars for true practice:
-Vishwasa (conviction) and

Vishwasa is not blind belief, but a settled certainty born from transmitted knowledge and verification.
Sampradaya is adherence to the living lineage passed from teacher to student, preserving the entire methodology, not just words.

The claim from Canadian Conservatives that anthropogenic (man made) climate change is a false hypothesis is not acceptable. It never was.
The idea that the development of oil and gas resources can be continued without consideration of the threat that global warming poses to our immediate communities and the planet at large, is just wrong in every respect.
There is no debate about it. Up to the American Civil War, many Northerners were willing to abide the institution of slavery so as not to disrupt the economy. It wasn't until it became an overwhelming matter of personal conscience that it was eliminated.
